Pleasantly Surprised!I wanted this pen for a long time being a huge Jane Austen fan AND preferring fountain pens to write with. I hesitated to get this one because i had thew experience that really pretty fountain pen usually lack a qulity nib or just scratch or have hesitant ink flow.My favorite pen German that I had for 23 years broke in half ..Don't ask LOL and I decided too just go for this one. BOY am I glad I did. It is pretier than on the pictures. The pearlized white looks very elegant. As for writing the ink flows so lightly and smoothly from the beautiful silver nib. It is a medium nib I would say. On the fine side. I had mediums before which were thicker. I prefer a finer line and this one does very nicely.It is a pleasure to write with this pretty pen I must say!It really takes no pressure at all on the paper to write smoothly.NO scratching!!Just a tiny little down side which does not bother me at all but might be good to know for others It has no clip on the cap. For anyone who wondered as I
